Nigerian Man Survives 3 Days Trapped Under The Atlantic by Nobody: 12:26pm On Dec 04, 2013
This viral video of a stunning rescue shows how a man, Harrison Odjegba, who'd been trapped underwater in a sunken tugboat for three days was rescued.
This amazing incident took place in May, and only surfaced on the internet this week! The temperature was drooping to freezing, and Harrison's life was flashing before his eyes, but he couldn't - wouldn't - let go so easily: he begged God for a miracle, and he got it.

Divers who were working on a neighbouring oil field 120 kilometers away were deployed to the scene to search for survivors. They'd already pulled up four bodies when a hand appeared on the TV screen Tony Walker, project manager for the Dutch company DCN Diving, was monitoring.

They all thought it was another body, but then according to Walker, "The diver acknowledged that he had seen the hand and then, when he went to grab the hand, the hand grabbed him!"

"It was frightening for everybody," he said. "For the guy that was trapped because he didn't know what was happening. It was a shock for the diver while he was down there looking for bodies, and we (in the control room) shot back when the hand grabbed him on the screen."

Walker said Okene couldn't have lasted much longer. "He was incredibly lucky he was in an air pocket but he would have had a limited time (before) ... he wouldn't be able to breathe anymore."

Owing to a request by the Associated Press, the full video of the daring rescue was released by DCN Diving.
